EQS-Adhoc: LANXESS Aktiengesellschaft: LANXESS adjusts expectations for FY 2023; Board of Management proposes dividend reduction
EQS-Ad-hoc: LANXESS Aktiengesellschaft / Key word(s): Change in Forecast/Dividend
Ad hoc according to Art. 17 paragraph 1 MMVO
LANXESS adjusts expectations for FY 2023; Board of Management proposes dividend reduction Demand in the fourth quarter for specialty chemical products of LANXESS is expected to be lower than estimated. Initiated destocking of customers in the agroindustry and a supplier-related production limitation for the Business Unit Flavors & Fragrances at its production site in Botlek (NL) impact results additionally. LANXESS now expects FY 2023 EBITDA pre exceptionals to amount to between EUR 500 and 550 million. The adjusted outlook is below the level of market expectations of currently EUR 571 million (Vara Consensus). LANXESS had formerly expected FY 2023 EBITDA pre exceptionals to amount to between EUR 600 and 650 million. Given the weak business development, the Board of Management intends to propose a reduction of the FY 2023 dividend to EUR 0.10. The hereby avoided cash outflow would result in a further reduction of net financial debt. Expected proceeds from the now initiated sale of the Business Unit Urethane Systems would contribute as well. EBITDA pre exceptionals for the third quarter 2023 is expected to amount to EUR 119 million being in line with the market expectations of currently EUR 120 million. LANXESS will release its results for the third quarter 2023 on November 8, 2023.
